#8. Kalahari Surfers — Akaśic Record
A highly sophisticated foray into African-flavoured dubfunk, released in 2001, this was Warrick Sony’s first solo album for a decade. His mesmeric 12-track soundscape (in Hindu philosophy, “akaśic ” refers to the rose-tinted dream state that follows accidental death*) blends high-tech digital production with live bass, drums, keyboards and guitar — all played by Sony — and traditional instruments including tabla, udu pots and other African and Asian percussion. Several tracks feature samples from the music of Namibia’s Himba people and rhythmic clapping by the Khoisan. It measures up to anything in its genre on the world stage. — Drew Forrest

How can I get hold of these tracks, would they still be avaliable in Music shops like Musica?
Thanks
I have a few CD’s -won’t find them in shops I’m afraid unless collector places. African Record shop in Long St Cape Town has a few still I think, or you can download them. Get me at warrick@kalaharisurfers.co.za
